The books of the Union Pacific railway at
Hcrshcy show the following car lot ship
ments from Hershey for the year 1K96 : Hay ,
214 ; wheat , 19 ; corn , 18 ; live stock , 1C ; po
tatoes , S ; oats , 7 ; broom corn , 3 ; miscel
laneous ; total , 2S9.
This shows a car a day for each working
day In the year. Where Is thcro a newly
opened territory In the state that can show
such a diversity of agricultural products ?
This valley Is bounded on the north and
south by branches of the I'latto river , with
irrigating ditches In operation that carry
water to every quarter section of land ,
which can be made to ralso without any
possible chance of failure a full crop every
year , giving farmers and stock raisers full
value for the tlmo and money expended.
. Farther back In the .foothills are the herds
\ of cattle that consume a part of the corn ;
nearby mills use a larger part of the wheat ,
whllo the shipments show how much of a
surplus was sent away the first year the Ir
rigating ditches were completed and In op
eration. The town of Hcrshey has two gen
eral stores , ono hardware store , a lumber
yard , n coal yard , a first-class elevator ,
blacksmith shop , wagoh and buggy shop ,
building contractor , and other enterprises.
C. It. Kelsey & Co. , the leading merchants ,
are putting In a complete line of everything
thr.t Is wanted ; W. W. Young has a full
stock of lumber and builders' materials. The
elevator , erected In October of IS'JU , Is taxed
to Its utmost to handle all the grain that Is
brought to it for sale.
The citizens of Hershey nro talking and
nro willing to help , both In a moral and
financial manner , the building of a beet
siigar mill the .coming jioason. Those that ,
know say that while the' plans are yet.
* crude , the building of the mill Is almost
assured at this time. This. In addition tea
a creamery and cannery , which are advo
cated with the same determination and en
thusiasm that has made the state of Ne
braska what It Is , will 'give a decided ad
vance over any other locality In the western
part of the state , lllght on .the border , be

IMPERIAL , Neb. , Jan. 17. ( Spcclal.-So )
far this winter there have been but very few
dayu ot cold , and scarcely none ot bad or dla-
agrecablc weather. The ground Is as molot
and as full of dampness as was ever expe
rienced at this season of the year , Instead
of enows , so far thla winter , wo have had
rains. There are some farmers In the county
who have been sowing wheat this month , and
they report the ground In splendid condition
for such work. Owners of cattle have not
had to feed their stock anything so far thla
winter. The grars on the prairies not only
kcepd the stock , hut fattens them for the
market. The great advantages this part of
the state affords for stock raising U fr.at
becoming known , and many people are coin
ing hero to go Into that business. The
farmers are also largely turning their at
tention to It. Quito a number of people
have been hero In the pant few months lookIng -
Ing over the county with a view to Invest
ing In farm lands , and a number of sales
and trades have been made. The real estate
men look for a largo Immigration hero In
the spring.
A number of Irrigation ditches have been
built this fall and winter along the French
man river , which gives this county a very
large area of land thai can bo Irrigated.

HASTINGS , Jan. 17. ( Special. ) There la
considerable discussion among the property
holders of Heelings over Mayor Evan'a an
nouncement that a direct taxation will bo
necessary In order to secure the improve
ments for the city water works , which are
so badly needed. As the last city election
held for voting $ S,000 bondd for that pur
pose waa declared Illegal on the grounds
that the public notice had not been printed In
the newspaper thirty days prior to election , It
leaves the water works Improvement matter
right where It waa several months ago. It
seems as If the sentiment Is evenly divided.
Aa thorn were not COO votes east at the last
election that vote cannot be taken as a
public expression lu regard to that matter.
Thq carrying of the bonds meant ton years'
tlmo to pay'the $8,000 In , but it the council
decides to Usuc a direct taxation , the ? S,000
will have to be paid In about thrco years.

lines , In regard to perfecting Its organiza
tion for the campaign of 1000. The second

the afternoon on petty differences nnd ad
journed to February C. The hard-shell mid
dle-of-the-road populists and old-line demo

An old friend stood conversing with Ticket
Agent Fonda at the Union depot the other
day. They had not seen each other for years.
Ho leaned his arms on the ledge Just out
side the ticket otnco and the two dug up old
reminiscences with a relish. The engine at
tached to the southbound Burlington train
stood out on the track , working Its air pump
with that nerve-racking sound which warns
the tourist of a sudden departure.
A tall man In a shiny plug stood Just out

with his fingers on Hie pine partition of the

through. Tlmo flew. They coupled the two
sections ot the train together. Tlio stranger
at length concluded his remarks with a
flourish and passed on.
"Kept you waiting. Sorry Indeed. You
want to go to Lincoln , I suppcse , " said ho
of the pasteboards.
"No , I don't want to go to Lincoln , " said
the tall man.
"Excuse me ; Chicago , of course , " rejoined
the ticket man , with the Imperturbable
habit acquired by long contact with a cranky
traveling public. He had already stamped
the ticket , but shoved It back Into the rack.
Ho reached for another ono. The stamp
fell with a thud.
"I don't want to go to Chicago , " resumed
the passenger ; "neither do I wont to go to
Lincoln. Business forces me to go to Lin
coln , however , eo give me a ticket there. "
Ho got the ticket.

A lean , lanky Individual , covered with a

"Hullo , pard ! " he ventured. The Individual

shooters cnmo uppermost lu his mind.
"Gol dcrn my pelt. You bo the cuss I'm

hand through the llttlo aperture at the hot
torn of the netting. He looked stealthily
around. "Say ! Bo you the feller wet sells

case.
"You're my meat ! " shouted the man from

nihilation. ' 'Looky here , pard , " continued
the visitor ; "you and mo Is goln * Into ca

People passlr.g tha weather biiroav station
ycutorrtay morning wore surprised and
alarmed when they observed that the Inla.id
storm signal , a red flag with a black cen
ter , was flying from the masthead , and many
of them hurried to their homes , anticipating
u blizzard , These persons who were up'on
thu streets during the later hours of the
day , however , were moro alarmed than'tho
early rlsrs , for beneath the htorm signal they
saw the cold Wave Hag floating In the wind.
The storm signal was hoisted late Saturday
night on an order from the Chicago weather
office , Forecaster Cox of that station pre
dicting severe winds and a storm of snow.
The cold wave flag was hoisted yesterday
morning on account of telegrams having been
received , Indicating that the temperatur
would fall twenty degrees or more before
this morning. This fall will bring the tem
perature down to some ten degrees above
the ZVTO point.
Ice dealers and Ice cutters hailed with Joy
the hoisting of the cold wave flag , as they
realize , that If the cold weather continues
for a few days several hundred men will be
put to work harvesting the annual crop of
Ice.

The local weather ofllco received another
telegram from Prof. Cox of Chicago yester
day afternoon at 4:30 : , In which It stated
that the cold wave approaching would bo
very severe. The night reports from the ob
servations points , however , did not show
much severity except at Chicago , where the

being the slowest reported from any of the
stations.
The local weather odlco recorded that snow
fell for ten minutes last evening , between

Interested In selecting the alto for the Trans.

regard to the transportation of the vlsltoro
from the exposition ground to the center of
the city , If located In Miller or Elmwo-vl

park site. Taking as an average dally at
tendance ot from .10,000 to 50,000 persona ,
and supposing the street car company would
run flfty trains nf ono motor and om > trailer ,
each train carrying 100 people , from the ex
position ground to Farnnm atreet , the run
from cither Miller or Klin wood park will
take not leas than ono hour , whercsa , from
the Hlvervlew or the Unmeant park site ,
eighteen to twenty minutes Is the time re
quired. The flfty traln.i do here the service
requiring 150 on the distant sites , and It Is
not only the dlffcrenco In the number of
cara required , but being In the heated sea
son , you know how disagreeable It Is to bo
Jammed In for ono hour , when for twenty

two distant altos , whereas. In the others
15.000 could bo landed In the center of the

OMAHA , Jan. 17. To the Editor of The
Bee : The merits , of 'Miller park as a loca
tion for the Tranamlsslsslppl Exposition have
been thoroughly aired for several .months ,
while so far , little or nothing has been said
or written ns to the advantages of the site
adjoining Hanscom park. It Is located right
In the city , within walking distance of the
business center , and alsn within easv walk-
Ing dhtance of two-thirds ot the population
of Omaha and South Omaha. It Is accessi
ble on all sides over paved streets and good
aldcwalha. There Is sulflclont land available
to accommodate- the necessities ot the
exposition ; the ground In Its natural condi
tion Is peculiarly adapted for the purpose
and with reasonable expense can bo made
very attractive. A ono and one-half mile cir
cle , struck from Thirty-third and Pacific
streets , takes In nearly all of Omaha , and
part of South , Omaha , While the same circle
from Miller park as a center , hardly reaches
the extreme northern residence portion of
this city , and to all In the north part of
Omaha , south ot Kountzo Placo. the Hann-
com park siteIs moro convenient than Miller
park. Locating the exposition at this place
would certainly add enormously to the reve
nue , as so many people within walking dis
tance would visit the fair many times , where
once or twice would satisfy the.ni were they
compelled to make a atreet car or railway
Journey In order to reach It. Besides , all
visitors to the exposition being right In the
city , would spend come time In the business
portions , and consequently , benefit the mer
chants. The people have subscribed liber
ally , expecting returns In the way of sub
stantial benefits to Omaha , and a difference
of a few thousand dollars In landscape work ,
water or sewer service , should not Influence
the directory In the selection of a silo.
If wo are to have an exposition at Omaha ,
let us have It In Omaha , and not live miles
In the country , accessible only over unpaved
country roads. JOHN M'DONALD.

OMAHA. Jan. 1C. To the Editor of The
Bee : Wo wonder how many of the citizens
of Omaha know and appreciate the fact that
the Omaha High school Is considered by the
best educators of the land as one ot the very
best In this whole country , far ahead of
many of the high schools in the large eastern
cities. It Is Indeed a great pity that the
building Is so inadequate. With the flno
corps of teachers , under the most competent
and conscientious supervision of Prof. Levlu-
ton and Miss McHugh , what might they i.ot
accomplish with oven an addition to the old
building properly equipped ? It would pay
the parents who have children attending the
school to take a day and go through the
building to BOO Its crowded condition and the
-many dlfllcultles with which the teachers
ha've to contend. You will receive most
courteous and hearty welcome from Prof.
Lcvlston and all the teachers , who are
anxious to have the parents co-operato with
them.
When you go , do not fall to visit the lunch
room at noon , and see what a blessing the
Woman's Christian Temperance union of
Omaha Is conferring upon our boys and
girls. The lunch room Is kept In perfect
order , and an average of 200 lunches given
a day at the following nrlccs : A bowl of ilr > -
llclous soup and crackers , G cents ; tea , colTce
and cocoa , per cup , 3 cents ; glass of milk , 2
cents ; ham sandwich , 3 cents ; two slices of
bread and butter , 1 cent ; buttered rolls , 2
cents ; cream puffs , 2 cents ; pickles , 1 cent ;
baked apples , with cream , 3 cents ; baked
apples , without cream , 2 cents ; cscallopcd
potatoes , 2 cents ; home-made cookies , 1 cent.
A change is made each day In the bill of
fare , at the same reasonable prices , The
room Is in charge of Mr& . Tllden , who Is as
sisted by a competent cook and ten ladles ,
who donate their services.
Wo understand that when the February
classes enter the High school there Is great
danger that this lunch room will bo crowded
out. This should never ho allowed. These
ladles , at great personal sacrifice , are striv
ing to keep the bodies of our boys and girls
healthy and sound for their school work.
Wo would suggest that every mother who
appreciates this good work would drop a
card to Mrs. Tllden , corner of Nineteenth
and Douglas streets , to that effect , and thus
glvo these ladles a word of encouragement.
Wo feel sure If any of you had ever partaken
of their dellclously cooked lunches , you
would bo anxious to do this.

Unless the unexpected should happen the
people who have claims against the county
of DaiicUs on account of money paid to
the county for lots purchased In Douglas
addition are not likely to receive any money
In return for at least thrco or four years ,
or until after the cases have been taken fo
the suprcnu court through tlm tedious pro
cesses which surround litigation of that na
ture In this state. This course will almost
certainly bo taken , regardless ot the action
that may ho taken In the matter of allow
ing the claims on the part ot tha Board of
County Commissioners. This result Is the
natural outcome of the complications which
surround those ccses. In order to make this
clear It will bo necessary to review the
events leading up to the present situation.
In 1SS7 a proposition was submitted to a
vote of the people of Doug.as county au
thorizing the county commissioners to plat
a portion of what was known as the "poor
farm , " and sell the lots at public sale. The
addition thus provided for was to bo known
as "Douglas addition. " This proposition re
ceived a largo number of votes , more votes
being cast for it than were cast against 11 ,
hut the number of votes cast In Its favor
was not a majority of all the votes cast at
the election. It was decided that the propo
sition had carried and iirjparatlons wore
made to place Douglas addition upon the
market.
This was at the height of "tho boom , " and
the ealo of Douulas addition was made a
jubllco occasion. There wore brass bands
and a barbecue and a good time generally.
The lots were sold at auction and were
"knocked down" at what would now bo re
garded as fabulous prices. The addition was
favorably situated and property there was
regarded as very desirable , hence lots brought
fancy figures. The county did a rinding
business and $00,000 or $70.000 was realized
from this sale , and this amount was added
to the fund for the construction ot the county
hospital building , this being the purpose for
which the lots were sold.
As tlmo went on paynumts were made on
these lots until the county had received
about $200,000 from this source. It was then
discovered by some of the purchasers that
there was a flaw In the title to the lots , and
that the county commissioners could not
glvo a good title , for the reason that the
proposition authorizing the sale of the lots
had not received a sufllclent number of
votes and had not carried. This was In
1S9J and claims commenced to pour In upon
the county board from the purchasers of
these lots , who wanted their money returned
to them.
Some of the claims were rejected , and the
claimants thereupon commenced suit In the
district court to recover their money. A
number of other claimants were advised by
the commissioners not to commence suits , as
a multiplicity of suits would simply put the
county to additional expense , and the com-
mUsloncrj promised that the outcome nf the
suits then pcnd'ng In the courts would govern
the action of the board upon the other
claims. Among these claimants was Wil
liam I. Klerstead , now a member of the
Board of County Commlsisoncm , and ho
states , mcst positively , that the members of
the board at that time , as well as subse
quent members , promised faithfully that the
result of the suits then pending would settle
the whole matter without the necessity of
additional suits.
The county was defeated 'In the district
court , and the case was appealed to the
supreme court , where the county was again
defeated. Tlio attorney for the claimants. C.
B. Keller , in the latter part of December ,
1S95 , or the first part of January , 1890 , com
menced mandamus proceedings In the district
court to compel the commissioners to make
an estimate for the payment of the Judg
ments afllrmed by the supreme court. A
writ of mandamus was Issued , and It was at
this point that the county commissioners cm.
ployed special counsel to defend the Interests
of the county In these suits.
At that time the county had a county at
torney drawing a salary of $2,500 per year ,
and three assistant county attorneys drawing
$100 each per month. Notwithstanding th'a
fact , the county entered Into a contract with
\V. D. Beckett , by which ho received Jl.fiOO
is n retainer , and , In case he defeated the
judgments , ho wcs to receive 10 per cent
additional , which would amount to about
$10,000. The contract also covered the
numerous claims which had been flled
against the county , but which , had not been
taken Into court , anil If ho afterward BUC-
cceded In defeating these , ho waj to receive
an additional 5 per cent , which would
amount to about $5,000. making $ lC.noo al
together , In case the county won In every In
stance. In addition lu this It was specified
that the county was to pay all the costs in
curred In prosecuting the cases.
It Is recent history that the supreme
court decided against the county so far
as the Judgments are concerned , and that
nothing ren.alns to bo done but to pay them.
As amattcr of fact , the supreme court has
passed thrci- times upon the merits of the
case , deciding against the county upon every
issue raised. It Is now proposed by Mr.
Beckett to take the claims Into court and not
up the statue of limitations as a defense.
This question has formed the subject of
soveril discussions among the commissioners
during the past week. Commissioner Stei >
berg , who was a member of the board at the
time the contract waa made with Beckett ,
favors exhausting every legal resource be
fore allowing the claims. Commissioner
Klcrstead , on the other hand. Is in favor of
effecting some kind of a compromise with the
claimants , and thereby save the county the
additional expense of further legal procced-

If the action of the hoard Is against the ;

as the Judgments already rendered , there
scorns to he no nuratlon that the matter will j
ho taken Into court by the attorneys for
the claimant * . If the board should decide
In favor of the claimants , It Is expected that
Mr. Deckctt will go Into court to prevent
the board from settling the claims out of
court , and thus prevent him from earning
his contract fee by defending the Interests
of the county In court. In either case It
seems to bo n foregone conclusion that the
claims are destined to bo tied up for several
years more by litigation.
